[Update] Nintendo confirmed that the Super Smash Bros Ultimate 3.0 update is indeed releasing this week. A new video has also been shared, showcasing the upcoming new content, and you can check it out below.
[Original Story] A big Super Smash Bros Ultimate update is currently in the works, but a final release date has yet to be confirmed. According to a new online leak, we won't have to wait much longer for it to go live.
According to this new leak, the Super Smash Bros Ultimate 3.0.0 update is going to go live on April 19th. It will add support for Joker and Mementos Depth and it will also add the Stage Builder mode and a brand new online mode called Duel Smash.
The Stage Builder mode sounds quite interesting, as it will allow players to create not only generic stages but also stages themed after Nintendo franchises. Third party franchises cannot be used, but it will still be possible to use their music.
Duel Smash sounds like the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate variation of the For Glory mode included in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U, as it will be a 1-vs-1 mode where all stages will be in Final Destination form.
As the leak comes from an anonymous source, we have to take everything with a grain of salt until an official announcement comes in. If the update is really releasing this week, it won't take long to know if this leak is real or not.
Super Smash Bros Ultimate is now out on Nintendo Switch in all regions. We will keep you updated on the matter as soon as more come in on it, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
